Overview:
Dryad's mission is to make the data underlying scholarly publications discoverable, accessible,
understandable, freely reusable, and citable for all users. We believe that universal design
and adherence to coding standards are the best means to ensure access to the broadest
possible audience, and our design and development staff work together to achieve those goals.
Section 508 Compliance:
To ensure that we meet or exceed the requirements of the 1998 Amendment to Section 508 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Dryad continually reviews our site and modifies pages to remove
accessibility problems for people with disabilities. Our website uses HTML that follows Section
508 standards for example, we include alternate text to describe graphics. We use accessibility
testing tools to help us find and fix issues whenever we add new features of content. For more
detailed information on the 508 compliance status of the Dryad website, please see our
Voluntary Product Accessibility Template® (Dryad-VPAT.PDF ).
Accessibility of Dryad Contents
The Dryad Repository does not impose any file format restrictions. As a result, Dryad cannot
guarantee that all files in all data packages are accessible. However, we encourage authors to
submit data in formats such as ASCII and HTML that are not only accessible to screen reading
software, but also more suitable for preservation and reuse.
What to do if you have a problem
